This manual is undoubtedly the best service/repair manual available for the XL Sportster 2004-2006.The instructions are clear & concise & the accompanying photographs make the job easy. You don't need to be a mechanic to use this book or to service or repair your Sportster - if you can follow instructions & use a few simple tools (with a few exceptions for the really big jobs!!)you can save a load of money (example: a Harley dealer will charge you £70 - £80 for an oil change, using the book you can do it for the cost of the oil & a new filter & it will take you 45mins!) & derive a lot of satisfaction from doing your own servicing. Buy the book, give the servicing a try, you'll be surprised how easy it is.

This book gives me everything I needed and more. It covers everything you could use a sa novice through tearing apart the engine. I wish they had a similar book for my Kawasaki Vulcan 500.

This is a fairly good book until you see the HD Service Manual. The official manual is more expensive (about $58), but is much better than the Clymer. Skip the Clymer and save your pennies and buy the HD one.

I own a 2004 Sportster and this book has proved invaluable in showing me how to do normal maintenance tasks.

Having no information whatsoever before I got the book, I find this information quite complete. It will make future repairs, if needed, pretty easy to do.

Searched the web for the best price on this manuel and Amazon got the job done!!! It has the info needed as well as pictures to walk a person thru the repair/upkeep of their Harley. Quick delivery of order.

The book gives you a lot of information about basic maintenance. Pictures are good enough and the price is right. If I were totally rebuilding a bike - I would opt for the Harley Guide - but this is enough for me.

This manual rivals the factory manual(s). It has superb wiring diagrams in COLOR! It is totally "vehicle specific", '04 to '06 Sportster ONLY. Very thorough data and explanations of diagonstic serial data bus systems. Directions on downloading trouble codes by the owner, circumventing the dealer ($$$).(Quite a surprise!) Totally thorough pictorials of virtually everything mechanical and electrical. This is the FIRST after market "shop manual" that is as informative as the factory manuals, accomplishing this mainly due to its SPECIFIC (one model) content. Not the usual "fits-all-models" manual. Totally blows away the average Chilton and / or Haynes manual, hands down. GO FOR IT ! !

This book is a necessity for a Sportster owner. Well written for the owner/mechanic to diagnose and repair the motorcycle.

This book was everything that it stated. With the help and guidence of this book, I was able to do the repairs and customization with little question. Great value!
